FAQs
Can I use any type of ice cream for this recipe?
Yes! While strawberry ice cream gives it a nice fruity flavor, you can use other types like vanilla, lemon, or even raspberry to match your taste preferences.
Can I make this punch in advance?
It’s best to prepare this punch just before serving to keep the ice cream from melting too much and losing its texture.
How can I make this punch less sweet?
If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of strawberry lemonade or lemon-lime soda, or use a sugar-free version of the lemonade.
What other garnishes can I use?
You can add other fun garnishes like chocolate eggs, whipped cream, or edible glitter to make it even more festive.
Can I make this punch for a large crowd?
Yes! Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need and serve it in a large punch bowl with a ladle.

Yes, using a sugar-free version of strawberry lemonade will help cut down on the sweetness while still maintaining the fruity flavor.
How can I make this punch less creamy?
If you prefer a lighter punch, reduce the amount of ice cream and increase the soda or lemonade for a more liquid-based drink.
